So how exactly do you make this overnight supply? According to Simone Tong, in conversation with… People magazineAll you need to do is combine grated ginger, minced garlic, and scallions in a large bowl. Fill the bowl with water and let the water sit overnight to soak up the flavor. In the morning, strain the solids from the liquid and you have an easy and quick stock to use in soup, noodles, dumplings, or just about any recipe. You don’t even have to turn on the stove and this method allows you to make stock overnight, in the exact amount you need.
Don’t have time to wait for your ginger, spring onions and garlic to soak overnight? If you’re really craving some vegetable stock, there are a few substitutes you can use. Try a mixture of water and tomato sauce, wine, tea, water-diluted soy sauce, or, if all else fails, plain water. Of course, it’s also always a good idea to keep a pack of stock cubes in the pantry for a pinch.
